We Empower Rural Girls and Women

About Us

Life Lifters Kenya economically empowers rural girls to take control of their lives, make informed decisions about their lives and advocate for their own rights and wellbeing. We are a registered non-governmental organization that invests in disenfranchised smart underprivileged rural girls to enable them access quality education, SRHR information and economic opportunities that positively impact their life outcomes. As an organization we:

Promote Gender Equality through Girls Education

Implemented through our Girls Educate program, Life Lifters provides disenfranchised smart underprivileged rural girls with comprehensive multi-year scholarships, back to school supplies, mentorship and training in sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR), leadership and business. We intervene at a catalytic age of 13-19 and eliminate barriers that hinder high-school aged rural girls from accessing quality education.

Advance Sexual and Reproductive Rights of Young Teenage Girls

Implemented through our Wasichana Twashinda program, Life Lifters provides comprehensive Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) training to teenage girls aged (11- 19) from rural and grassroots communities. With the overall strategic purpose of reducing poverty by reducing teenage pregnancy rates, preventing early marriage, and increasing secondary school transition rates among rural teenage girls, the program builds and promotes rural girls’ understanding of their bodies and reproductive health by exposing them to comprehensive Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights training, including training in menstrual health and safety and sexual and reproductive rights.

Promotes Economic Empowerment of Young Women

At Life Lifters we are intentional about increasing rural girls’ ability to access and control their financial resources, opportunities and their decision making within the economy. We provide our girls with quality education, comprehensive training and mentorship to enable them make informed decisions on how to participate in the economy.
